I have a site where users can upload a video and it is then converted into flv and played through a flv player. Well I downloaded a new flv player and I am having trouble installing it. I have it to the point where it will play a video but not the correct one. It always plays the same video. I check my config.xml file and the error is in there.

Code:

 	
<!-- relative path to videos XML file -->
	<VIDEO_FILE_PATH>./videos.xml</VIDEO_FILE_PATH>
	<VIDEOS_PATH>./video/</VIDEOS_PATH>
	  <CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_PATH>./video/video1.flv</CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_PATH>
	<CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_TITLE>Some title</CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_TITLE>
	<CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_RUNTIME>auto</CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_RUNTIME>
	<PHP_PATH>./</PHP_PATH>

The flv player will always play the video that is in the <CURRENT_VIDEO_FILE_PATH> which would make sense. What I need to do is change it so that it will play the correct file that is uploaded. It would be dynamic because it would change from one video to the next. Does anybody know how I should change it? Here is my original script in my template for the flv player (this one worked 100%)

Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="240"
                        wmode="transparent" data="{$flvdourl}/flvplayer.swf?file={$flvdourl}/{$vinfo[0].flvdoname}&autoStart=false">
                        <param name="movie" value="{$flvdourl}/flvplayer.swf?file={$flvdourl}/{$vinfo[0].flvdoname}&autoStart=false" />
                        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                </object>

I then changed it to my new flv player and changed it to this code

PHP Code:

 <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="420" height="350" align="middle">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

<param name="movie" value="youtube.swf?xml=config.xml<?php     if( $_GET['video'] != null ) echo "&video=".$_GET['video'];?>" />

<param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

<embed src="youtube.swf?xml=config.xml<?php     if( $_GET['video'] != null ) echo "&video=".$_GET['video'];?>" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="450" height="369" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

</object>

Any recommendations or ideas? I just want it playing the correct video when a user selects it.

Here is a link to the new flv player I got http://www.tufat.com/s_youtube_video.htm

You need to alter the upload script to change the video value to whatever it just uploaded in the "param" section of your applet.

What code/page uploads the file? html, php, ftp?

What calls the web page that has the applet embedded in it? This is where you'd make your change, but it has to know where the uploaded file is put.
